Independent Sexual Violence Advisor
4 months ago
At FearFree, we take pride in delivering exceptional services across the Southwest region, and we are excited to announce that we are launching a new team delivering sexual violence therapeutic support across Wiltshire and Swindon. Part of a diverse team of professionals supporting adult and child victims of sexual violence, you will play an integral role in providing one-to-one and group support for adult survivors.
The Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) will work within a multi-agency system to provide a proactive, person centred independent service for victims of sexual violence, empowering choice through informed decision making. Key elements of the role include:
- Risk assessing and helping to keep service users safe (safety planning).
- Provision of psychoeducational support sessions, with a focus on safety and stabilisation.
- Co-delivery of group based support.
- Enabling victims to access statutory and other services.
The ISVA role requires the building of effective relationships with other agencies that may support victims of sexual violence, developing referral pathways and creating outward facing information resources and campaigns to raise awareness and build confidence in reporting sexual violence.
The ISVA will be required to work to the Quality Standards for services supporting victims/survivors of sexual violence.

To provide sensitive and non–judgmental support, enabling the service user to regain control and self-esteem. Encourage/assist clients to develop their own support network. To provide information to enable clients to make informed decisions in relation to the self-referral option, medical care, forensic examination, making a police report, mental health and sexual health and onward referrals. To promote the service to external agencies where applicable. To produce clear record keeping/documentation, in a timely manner according to FearFree’ policies and procedures. To assess, offer and gain consent from the client for any onward referrals. To document clearly any safeguarding concerns, complete any relevant risk assessments and liaise with relevant safeguarding teams and attend MARAC, MASH and Children’s’ Services meetings if appropriate. Ensuring that the service user’s views, opinions, wishes and needs are understood, respected and listened to and held at the forefront of support, whilst fully complying with all safeguarding requirements. Safeguard the health & welfare of service users and their families. Enable service users to participate in the design, delivery and evaluation of services. Utilise evaluation and monitoring systems to ensure high standards of service are consistently achieved. Ensure support provided is accessible to clients in terms of location and times. To manage a case load – balancing new referrals, existing cases and closing cases. To offer specialist advice to other professionals and agencies where required.
